Abstract

Market hog prices historically have shown great variation and have often followed a cyclical pattern. Franzmann (1979) finds evidence of a four-year and a twenty-eight-year cycle in hog prices. Price cycles imply the possibility of forecasting long-range prices. In turn, forecasting suggests the opportunity to vary the production or marketing process in order to maximize profits.
